Persistent Subdivisions of Coxeter Permutahedra

Abstract

We investigate the realizations of Coxeter permutahedra which are also Coxeter matroid polytopes; these are polytopes of the form $\mathrm{conv}(W \cdot \mathbf{a})$ where $W$ is a finite Coxeter group acting on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\mathbf{a}$ is generic. Our main focus is how the geometric properties of $\mathrm{conv}(W \cdot \mathbf{a})$ change as $\mathbf{a}$ changes, with particular attention to persistent simplices, triangulations, and subdivisions.
